to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editi ons as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.

Catalogue of Publi cati ons; this informati on is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australi an

and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head offi ce of Standards Australi a,

without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.
